Making a catio / enclosed outdoor space for Maui is a GREAT idea. He will love it and it will give him a safe alternative to sneaking out of the house.
I was sick all 9 months with all my pregnancies so far. Hang in there Lydia. I would pass out too. Just rest a lot. Your body is making another human so don’t worry about the cleaning ❤️
Since you are able to do construction work you could always install a pocket door which would be more expensive but would be so much more convenient. Hopefully the late night pregnancy sickness gets better soon!
I had cats around all my babies and yhey were all fine. Younreally don't have to worry about them hurting your baby. They are curious and then they are fine.
I was terribly sick up til the 8th month, so the sickness can last the whole time. I certainly hope that y'all have better luck with the sickness ending sooner. Some docs will give IV nausea meds through a port under the skin. Be blessed.
💝💝💝AWESOME...Newest Bates Baby doin' Beats....Love to hear when Baby and Mama are Healthy. Lydia....my first baby (girl) I was sick the whole time, but what helped was my Dr. said to take my Prenatal vitamins at night (she thought the iron was upsetting my stomach) but before taking them eat about 5 saltine crackers. That did help. Just a suggestion. Love watching you both. It's so nice to see smiling Beautiful faces and hear joyful people...thank you for sharing and God Bless all y'all and your Sweet baby☺️
Feel for you Lydia….I felt awful with each of my pregnancies. Nothing took it away, but keeping protein levels up, eating more often, peppermint candies, and a combo of unisom, B6 (I think, but some B vitamins) and zofran made it a bit better. Just one day at a time.
Wow, Maui must be a very mild-mannered kitty; all of our cats have been male (neutered), and they all would have made short work of that shade. They would have gone over, under or through it! Don’t forget that you frequently may have baby in one arm; and will have to use the other to open or close the kitchen door. As many people have suggested, an accordion, bifold, or barn door would be easier. Remember to give Maui some attention after baby arrives! Lydia, are you allowed to have Zofran for nausea-it can work wonders!
My daughter was sick for her whole pregnancy. Something that helped her feel a little better, oddly, was sucking on jolly rancher candies throughout the day.
So great of you Trace to acknowledge how Lydia feels. I needed that more, as I felt like there was something wrong with me. (Years ago and I survived but its so hard every time)
Oh Lydia, I will keep you in my prayers. I had 3 boys and a girl. I was very sick with my boys but not my daughter. The last one, I was sick every day. Totally understand what you are going through sending positive healing energies 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was sick all 9 months but I never threw up. It felt as if I could I would feel better. Our daughter was perfect, and I was fine. Always do as you just did “ask the doctor” to be sure. You look beautiful and you are going to be a wonderful Mom, and the baby is going to be fantastic… by the way Trace you will be a great Daddy just as you are already a caring and great husband.
I'm so glad your do excited about your baby....My daughter been through so many tests because she's trying to have a baby which makes babies so much more special to us...We get so excited when people get pregnant....It's a blessing and a miracle
You could cover a pool noodle with material and use it as a door block at the bottom of the blackout curtain to close the gap. Then it's easy to tuck away or move in a hurry.
Will keep you in prayer Lydia. I was sick the entire 9 months with my first. Throwing up or dry heaving was a part of every day and was so scary. I made it through and have a wonderful son now. Thanks for sharing so we can pray for you.
Y’all should just do custom sliding door like they have for double closets. You could even do doors that have glass panes so you can still see in and for natural light as well. I’m sure landlord wouldn’t mind if you asked.
Y’all could train Maui to not go in the baby’s room/kitchen. Get a couple of spray bottles and fill them with water. When he starts to go in the bedroom or kitchen spray him and say no firmly. I have several cats. They can be trained to obey same as a dog. Hope this helps y’all!
Love that bedding! I still think a barn door would be great to close off the kitchen! The shade is a good temporary solution but Maui might figure it out.
Lydia...same for me. So nauseous the entire time... late in the day. Back in the 90's everyone said...it'll be a girl! We had a boy! He is now almost 28 years old. The years fly by!! Enjoy every moment!
I wasn’t sick when I was pregnant but I basically didn’t let my stomach get empty. I ate a small snack just to keep something in my belly. I hope you feel better soon. That is the worst feeling!
The ends you two go to as an accommodation for the cat🤣 it’s both crazy and sweet!!! Is there some reason you can’t put a door or screen door in the spot…open when you want, close at night ?
Sorry sunshine. I was sick up to 4 or close to 5mos. I kept saltine crackers by my bed and I would eat some before i got up. Blackout might be your Equilibrium might be off. Sounds all.normal though. Just know you look beautiful don't worry. Im glad your still filming. I enjoy all of them. Hang in there. I will continue to pray for you and baby.
What about pressure rods bottom and top with a curtain. Use velcro on the one side so you guys can easily go in and out. Things we do for our furbabies
I was in the same boat and taking the same things. They did do a small dose of steroids for 6 days and it made all the difference. Maybe if you're still struggling in the next couple weeks reach out to your MD and see if they may be willing to prescribe a low dose and less than a week long dose. It's been proven very safe for pregnancy and can get your body back on track typically. Praying for you and your pregnancy and for feeling better! ♥️
I’d get sick at night too, like starting to make dinner, especially if it was cooking meat! I was so sick, we ate a lot more lightly during those few months but we all survived!
Did y'all think about getting a pet gate to block off the kitchen? I use one, not for the kitchen though. It's really tall and it stretches out long. If y'all can find one with the measurements you need it would definitely be easier to go in and out of your kitchen
I really enjoyed the vlog. I was sick up to 20 weeks then it stopped.i will keep my fingers crossed for you. You are a lovely couple thank you for sharing.🙏🙏🐱
I hope you're successful at keeping Maui out of the kitchen. Have you ever thought of a vinyl accordion door to keep Maui out? I love the colors of the bedding! God bless you! ❤️🙏
Low blood count means low iron too. More steak, red meat (like daily) and of course an iron supplement will increase it. Solgar Gentle Iron (need to take 3+ pills) and Simply Heme (need to take 1+ pills) are good options.
I have the same issue.. i finally did the folded doors ( similar to closet accordian style) I was very happy ..it works and easy for me to get in and out
I would definitely try gatorade around 2 pm and that should help with the nausea that you get by 4 pm. Also saltine crackers. That combination should help you feel better.
Low yes I've never been pregnant but I have vertigo and that's a thing that can make you dizzy. In the mornings and can make you throw up. I have to drink water propels. And same thing. Your in my prayers. Listen to your doctor a your health is important love you both love your sister in Christ.
Maui will just go underneath the curtain. Cats are extremely smart creatures. He won't be able jump over it, but will still be able to go under it. So unless you put something hard like metal, wood, or plastic over that he'll still be able to go into the Kitchen. Maybe if this doesn't work try a foldable room divider or a foldable door.
I am a new subscriber and if you told me that you lived in Carlin's old house, i would believe you - Just by seeing a few shots of your house in this video... Also Maui is such a clever name for a cat. 😂 I love it! 💖
Trace needs to make a cateo ( a wooden framed box with metal fencing that goes outside one of the windows) so the cat can go outside and still be safe.
To keep your furbaby from squeezing under the curtain, what do you think of trying a 6x6 piece of wood the length of the width of that opening. Then get a length of double sided grippers already attached to a ribbon. staple one side of the gripper ribbon to the wood, and sew the other side to the curtain. Any time you want to move the curtain out of the way, unsnap the grippers, then store the wood somewhere on the floor, out of the way. Just be careful not to trip over the wood on the floor. My Grandpa and Dad-in-law where both carpenters and both taught me quite a bit. I hope my idea gets you thinking up a brain-storm! Lydia, I used to have similar challenges when I was pregnant with our son (but not our daughters). Try staying super hydrated and never go an hour without eating something like saltines. That gives you the salt and soothes your stomach because it is bland. Chicken soup or broth in the afternoon helped too. Sending prayers, love and gentle hugs.....🥰
Love these videos. Hope She feels better soon. Y’all ever think about getting the Bates family together to React to old videos of “United States of Bates”. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I blacked out with both my pregnancies and it was low blood sugar. I'd have sugar spikes and then my blood sugar would plummet. Had to eat more protein throughout the day.
God love you. Both my pregnancy was lots of sickness but my deliveries were awesome. Keep sipping water all day and eat small protein meals all day long.
Making a catio / enclosed outdoor space for Maui is a GREAT idea. He will love it and it will give him a safe alternative to sneaking out of the house.
Yes!🩵
And may want him to stay out of the kitchen if he has something higher to get to , multiple levels for him .. warden is going to be busy.
I was sick all 9 months with all my pregnancies so far. Hang in there Lydia. I would pass out too. Just rest a lot. Your body is making another human so don’t worry about the cleaning ❤️
Same. We had 5 kids. Was so worth it, but definitely not easy. I was in diclectin throughout my pregnancies and was still sick throughout.
Since you are able to do construction work you could always install a pocket door which would be more expensive but would be so much more convenient. Hopefully the late night pregnancy sickness gets better soon!
I had morning sickness the whole 9 months. Morning, noon, and night. Glad Baby Bates is doing well. ❤❤ prayers continue.
I'm surprised they didn't give you iron tablets Lydia. Dark green leafy vegetables, red meat good for iron too.
Morning sickness is due to being low in magnesium. Ask your doctor if you can take magnesium supplements. Congratulations on baby boy! ❤
I agree magnesium gylicinate and liquid IV would definitely help
Lydia and Trace are such wonderful people
Awe!! Just rest more you are making a baby. Can't wait to see him ... I'm sure he will be a lil cutie !!😍
I had cats around all my babies and yhey were all fine. Younreally don't have to worry about them hurting your baby. They are curious and then they are fine.
Try a farm door for separating the kitchen from the living room. Easy access for you all. Plus it’s decorative.
I was terribly sick up til the 8th month, so the sickness can last the whole time. I certainly hope that y'all have better luck with the sickness ending sooner. Some docs will give IV nausea meds through a port under the skin. Be blessed.

Magnesium helps so much! Get Celtic Salt it has everything you need. A little pinch throughout the day and you will feel much better😊
Anytime I hear a baby's heartbeat it makes me so happy. 🥹

Loved hearing Baby Boy’s heartbeat! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Definitely agree Trace should build a catio outside the living room window Maui likes so much!!!!
Praying Lydia feels better soon!
Have you guys considered an accordion door for the kitchen? Also I love the catio idea! Maui will be so happy with it
I was thinking about that too
I was thinking that too
Ditto👍🏻
Same
I suggested that before as well. It would be much easier to get in and out as well as sturdier. Plus, Maui couldn't get under it.
Y’all are a cute couple! Congragulations on your baby!❤
I was sick all 9 months but I never threw up. It felt as if I could I would feel better. Our daughter was perfect, and I was fine. Always do as you just did “ask the doctor” to be sure.
You look beautiful and you are going to be a wonderful Mom, and the baby is going to be fantastic… by the way Trace you will be a great Daddy just as you are already a caring and great husband.
I’m sorry to hear that you are still sick. I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you for letting us be apart of your family.❤
So sorry you are sick. I am praying for you and Trace. Hope you are feeling better soon. Love that cat 😍😍😍😍😍. Be careful. Love y'all.♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm so glad your do excited about your baby....My daughter been through so many tests because she's trying to have a baby which makes babies so much more special to us...We get so excited when people get pregnant....It's a blessing and a miracle
4:54 praying for you to start feeling better soon Lydia
I was so sick during my first pregnancy. Bless Lydia’s heart, I know the feeling. Praying it gets better!! ❤
Love your ideas for Maui. Prayers for Lydia.
Great yall!! Thanks for sharing with us 💖
You could cover a pool noodle with material and use it as a door block at the bottom of the blackout curtain to close the gap. Then it's easy to tuck away or move in a hurry.
prayers for you Lydia, for you to feel better😢, you have a Lovely Smile, I would never know about your nausea, God Bless you, Mommy to Be!!❤❤❤👶
Lydia, you are beautiful no matter what! And you are truly in my prayers. Love you both oodles,,Debra 💙
Cute baby bump. Love y’all
Will keep you in prayer Lydia. I was sick the entire 9 months with my first. Throwing up or dry heaving was a part of every day and was so scary. I made it through and have a wonderful son now. Thanks for sharing so we can pray for you.
I was very sick with my son every afternoon and evening!! I will pray you feel better real soon!💙🙏🏻
Hope the door works. Love hearing baby heartbeat
Can't wait to find out the name.❤
I was sick until I was close to 20 weeks with both of my pregnancies. It is so hard! Hang in there!!
Y’all should just do custom sliding door like they have for double closets. You could even do doors that have glass panes so you can still see in and for natural light as well. I’m sure landlord wouldn’t mind if you asked.
Lol I am watching Maui and he’s already devising a plan to get around that wall…😼🙀❤️
Lydia and Trace Congratulations Baby 👶 you tube channel Love my favorite one fan Big God bless you family 💖💖💖💖💖💖⭐️⭐️⭐️💯
I also think an accordion wall would work well too. I hope that what you have works well.
Can't wait to continue the journey with you both
Everything will be ok,y'all will be wonderful parents
Will keep Lydia in my prayers, also Trace because it is hard to see someone you love sick. Gods got this!!❤️
I had afternoon sickness for most of my 2nd trimester and it was rough. But, the upside, I didn't have to cook dinner!😊
Y’all could train Maui to not go in the baby’s room/kitchen. Get a couple of spray bottles and fill them with water. When he starts to go in the bedroom or kitchen spray him and say no firmly. I have several cats. They can be trained to obey same as a dog. Hope this helps y’all!
I have a spray bottle it works great.
Lydia said that Maui isn't fazed by the spray bottle
I look forward to seeing your weekly updates❤
Love that bedding! I still think a barn door would be great to close off the kitchen! The shade is a good temporary solution but Maui might figure it out.
Y'all are just adorable. Love you both.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great weekend with your guys cat and can't wait to see baby boy's check up.
If it doesn’t keep Maui out consider a pocket door. I love your decorating ideas!!
Lydia...same for me. So nauseous the entire time... late in the day. Back in the 90's everyone said...it'll be a girl! We had a boy! He is now almost 28 years old. The years fly by!! Enjoy every moment!
So cute. what a fun vlog and great idea. Happy, Healthy baby 💙
I wasn’t sick when I was pregnant but I basically didn’t let my stomach get empty. I ate a small snack just to keep something in my belly. I hope you feel better soon. That is the worst feeling!
The ends you two go to as an accommodation for the cat🤣 it’s both crazy and sweet!!! Is there some reason you can’t put a door or screen door in the spot…open when you want, close at night ?
Why can’t cat go in all rooms? Never heard of going to such extremes because of a cat. (
@@nancyarsenault3876 she doesn’t want the cat on the kitchen counters
Sorry sunshine. I was sick up to 4 or close to 5mos. I kept saltine crackers by my bed and I would eat some before i got up. Blackout might be your Equilibrium might be off. Sounds all.normal though.
Just know you look beautiful don't worry. Im glad your still filming. I enjoy all of them. Hang in there. I will continue to pray for you and baby.
What a great vlog enjoy watching you both love from England xx ❤
What about pressure rods bottom and top with a curtain. Use velcro on the one side so you guys can easily go in and out.
Things we do for our furbabies
Praying for you guys❤

It's been proven very safe for pregnancy and can get your body back on track typically. Praying for you and your pregnancy and for feeling better! ♥️
Steroids are good for baby's lungs also
Could you do a slider barn door if that doesn’t work?
I’d get sick at night too, like starting to make dinner, especially if it was cooking meat! I was so sick, we ate a lot more lightly during those few months but we all survived!
Praying the sickness will go away soon!! Y’all are the cutest couple!! Love watching ya’ll ❤
I think I would put like double screen doors in the kitchen doorway to block Maui out , easy to get thru but yet keeps kitty out.
Praying for y’all❤️
If it doesn't work you can probably put up bi-fold closet doors. They come in solid or shutter style
I think a folding barn door or a accordion door would work better.
Praying that Lydia’s pregnancy will get better for her .
Did y'all think about getting a pet gate to block off the kitchen? I use one, not for the kitchen though. It's really tall and it stretches out long. If y'all can find one with the measurements you need it would definitely be easier to go in and out of your kitchen
I really enjoyed the vlog. I was sick up to 20 weeks then it stopped.i will keep my fingers crossed for you. You are a lovely couple thank you for sharing.🙏🙏🐱
Curtain may work for a while. My personal suggestion. Why not do a barn door and have Warren or you can buy and install an out door catio.
I hope you're successful at keeping Maui out of the kitchen. Have you ever thought of a vinyl accordion door to keep Maui out? I love the colors of the bedding! God bless you! ❤️🙏
Ginger is really good for sickness.. hopefully you can start enjoying your pregnancy 😊
I was very sick at night during my second pregnancy. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
Hang the blind from the ceiling an add some clips to your skirting board then the chain to raise it up will work better hope this suggestion works 🇦🇺
Low blood count means low iron too. More steak, red meat (like daily) and of course an iron supplement will increase it. Solgar Gentle Iron (need to take 3+ pills) and Simply Heme (need to take 1+ pills) are good options.
I like Propel , sugar free and comes in flavors! I love grape.
I have the same issue.. i finally did the folded doors ( similar to closet accordian style) I was very happy ..it works and easy for me to get in and out
Use a log like door draft for the bottom or a long rubber piece along the bottom it would be heavy enough
I would definitely try gatorade around 2 pm and that should help with the nausea that you get by 4 pm. Also saltine crackers. That combination should help you feel better.
Low yes I've never been pregnant but I have vertigo and that's a thing that can make you dizzy. In the mornings and can make you throw up. I have to drink water propels. And same thing. Your in my prayers. Listen to your doctor a your health is important love you both love your sister in Christ.

You guys are so sweet and just awesome ❤
Trace needs to make a cateo ( a wooden framed box with metal fencing that goes outside one of the windows) so the cat can go outside and still be safe.
With the screen you can also use a projector to watch movies
Use Himalayan salt. And make green drinks Kale/spinach mixed berries sweet potato broccoli slaw ect... Sip through the day❤
Awesome I'm so excited for you two love watching all the bates Families.
Try drinking some dry ginger ale and have some ginger biscuits on hand to help with the nausea
Love that wall. Hope it works!
